Through research we learned that there is no "blasting school" or organized demolition instruction program available, so the only way to become a dynamite expert is to learn on the job. Techniques are passed on from generation to generation. Parents teach their children the skills, and the children then raise little blasters of their own.
We know that this won’t be easy, and we can’t possibly do this without the full support of our students, leadership team, teachers, veteran teams and mentors – those with engineering/technical backgrounds and others with valuable skills and experience.
